To J. n. MILLS" a PAHPER-RULING MACHINE.

sPEoIEIcATIoN forming `part of Letters Patent nogeesvo, dated November 1e', 1883.

icinnati, county of Hamilton, State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improve- 4 ments inPaper-Ruling Machines, of which the The object of my invention is to adapt an ordinary paper-ruling machine to produce curved or wave lines for tinting the ground for checks, drats,.&c., to prevent alteration orfraising',77` and also to rule ornamental borders and similar work. These objects I attain by the means illustrated in the accom-l `frame-pieces ofthe machine. Fig. 3 is a side i `elevation of the device, looking from the outside of the machine.

l has secured upon it a spring` arm or bar, F. The free end of the arm F loears` againstithe `end of the pen-beam shaft,which has longi tudinal play in its bearings c. The end of the shaft is held in contact with' the free end of the bar F by a spiral spring, c', which is compressed between the opposite end of the pen-beam and the standard c. The play of ""the pen-.beam is limited by a jamfnut, c?,

screwed upon thethreaded end of the penbeam shaft,or upon abolt tappedinto the end of said shaft. "The, bar F has a stud, f, secured upon it, to engage the cam-face of disk G, which is secured upon a shaft mounted in a frame, H, which is fitted to slide within a i flangedopening in" the base D, and heldin Application filed January 3, 1883.

place by setscrews 7L. Between the standards or lugs of shaft-frame H thecam-shaft is provided with a tight pulley, I, and loose pul` ley I', which are driven by a belt, J.

It will be seen that when the cam-shaft is set in motion the pen-beam C and pens 7c (of which there may be any desired number arranged in any suitable manner on the penbeam) willfhave a longitudinally-reciprocating motion transversely tothe sheet traveling upon the endless' apron B, and that curved or wave lines will be made upon the sheet,in` stead of straight ones. The curve of the lines may be regulated in several ways. For instance, if the frame or rest which carries the cani-shaft be made stationary,the endwise motion of 'the l pen beam shaft may be made `faster or slower by regulating the speed of `cam-shaft, and thusthe curves or waves would be Shorter or longer,while of the same width, and the Width of the curve could be regulated by moving the` stud f, which 'is adjustable by a slot and set-screw nearer to or farther from theaxisof rotation. ing the curves is by moving the `cam-shaft frame H and stud f nearer to or fartherfrom the pivoted end of the arm F, and correspondingly adjusting the set-screws c, so as to regulate the longitudinal play of the pen-beam C.

It will be seen from the foregoing that my improvement can be quickly attached to any of the ruling-machinesnow in general use without materially changing` their structure, and the machine is in condition for ordinary work by simply throwing the belt. upon the loose pulley or detaching the arm F.
